University of Ottawa

The University of Ottawa (uOttawa) is a public bilingual research university in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and the largest English-French bilingual university in the world. It is ranked #189 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. Its public, machine-readable developer footprint is concentrated in the library's institutional repository, uO Research (Recherche uO Research), which runs on DSpace 7.6.5 and exposes both a public DSpace REST/HATEOAS API and an OAI-PMH 2.0 metadata-harvesting endpoint. uOttawa does not operate a single unified public developer portal; most enterprise and student-information systems are gated behind institutional SSO.
